The Home Video Hustle

After getting a bit serious last week, I wanted to have some fun and thanks to HBO Max, I was able to get a big, dumb action movie. If you recall from the review I did with Brendan on the first XXX movie, I HATED it. This time Vin Diesel is gone and Ice Cube steps in, so this should be more my speed right? Of course with Cube being the star, I got some hip hop talk in, gave my quick thoughts on th...

It's the fifth round and I was the most curious to see what was up with this installment. I don't think i've ever heard anyone say anything good about Rocky V, Stallone even gave this a zero out of ten before so I was excited to see how bad it could possibl be. Or maybe to see if everyone was just bugging out all these years. Support The Show On Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/homevideohustle Wa...

I couldn't not give you guys an episode this week! I didn't have a lot of time to record so i decided to watch a short film and this one definitely had my mind going. This ended up being a way more personal episode than I expected it to be but it felt nice to finally speak on some of that stuff and i hope you guys are cool with it. Don't worry though, it's not all serious, I rant about streaming s...

Round 4! The Rocky journey is now half over and this is the one i've heard the most about outside of the original. I went the extra mile for this installment and watched not only the theatrical cut but I also took a look at the Ultimate Directors Cut version that Stallone recut a few years back. I watched them back to back and tell you all about the differences and how I felt overall. Support The...

This was a Cameron request! He really wanted to watch this Spike Lee joint and he also shares a lot of his stories and experiences from attending an HBCU and pledging to a fraternity and they are just was goofy and wild as you'd expect. Cameron and Chris also demolished a bottle of whiskey during the show so it got wild. We talked about stepping, rage quitting video games, radio station beef and s...

Round 3! This is the one, this is the one that i've always heard turned the franchise around and made it more fun and cartoonish. Will that be a good thing though? I had a lot of friends tell me that this is the one that I should like the most so let's find out together what I thought about Rocky III.

Round 2! Continuing my journey through the Rocky films and it was surprising to see that a lot of the references, memes and quotes I really knew, came from this film! I was interested to see this one and find out what happened after Rocky got mopped up by Apollo Creed in the first one. I'm curious to see if my opinion on this one is crazy or not.

Surprise! Starting a new series this week. I have been meaning to watch the Rocky films for years and just have never gotten around to it, I even bought the six movie blu ray set and let it gather dust. Well, we're changing that because Creed III looks real interesting so I gotta play catch up. This is a classic film, won best picture even so let's see what it does for me. I may have some slightly...

I let Chris pick from a stack of three movies and he chose this lesser known Ice-T classic! I always liked this movie but I wondered what they would think, one of them really surprised me. In the episode Chris also gives his review of the new Teen Wolf movie, Cameron gets upset when he remembers that Mortal Kombat Conquest got cancelled and we all laugh at Billboard's top 50 rappers list. Enjoy th...

This episode went way off the rails, mainly because alcohol was involved. We have been doing this show way to long to not have done it yet, so we finally got around to Foxy Brown this week! Cameron was on one for sure this week and multiple times we were distracted by craziness happening on tv. We played some chip tunes, tried to remember hospital color codes, told a crazy story about a recent exp...

It's February, so you know that means it's all Black films for the next TWO months! I don't know how it took us almost six years to do this one but it's here and we had a lot of fun talking about it. We can all damn near quote each scene so no surprises on scores here but we also talk about The Isley Brothers, sports betting, Disney songs and Chris creates a new ad-lib for himself. We also watched...

Thanks to Patreon supporter Daniel Boon, I get to rewatch a film I haven't seen in probably fifteen years. Cameron brought over his Anita Baker record, Chris learns more about his crush Rosario Dawson, I have serious questions about Cameron loving Anita Baker but not Sade, we talk a lot about movie soundtracks and yeah, we discuss Rush Hour too. We hope you enjoy the show! All Our Links - https://...

Patreon Month continues and this week our homie Dregeaux sent us a b-movie classic, Miami Connection. This is one of those movies that is commonly considered so bad it's good, but will we agree? Cameron's kids were upstairs while we recorded this week and that lead to us talking about old TV channels and how kids have no idea what they are anymore, Chris sings old cartoon theme songs, we laugh at...

The Hustle is back for 2023 and so are the Patreon Picks! Coming in at number 35 is Congo but even better, we have Steve and Izzy from the Everything I Learned from Movies Podcast here with us because this was their pick! We talked for a while and there was a twist with one of our scores that NO ONE saw coming! We also talked about Legends of the Hidden Temple, Cameron disses Jason X, Chris has be...

Let's take a minute to just chill out after all that holiday craziness. It's just me this week but I got some convo for you. I have some Patreon updates for you, an update on PJ, I tell you a bit about future plans of the show and just ramble on about movies, MST3K and tell a story or two. Patreon picks return next week!

Oh, we saved the best for last this year. To end the Christmas marathon AND the year 2022, we about to be Trappin' 4 Christmas! This is a Tubi classic that somehow no one has reviewed yet online and we are about to change that! We also talk about St. Ides, the terrible weather in Ohio, dice games and Cameron explains why Santa Claus is creepy. We hope you enjoy the show and Happy New Year! All Our...

Merry Christmas! To celebrate the occasion, we went back to the homies at Maverick Movies to see what new hotness they have put out! We saw the title and had to see what this one was about. We also talk about a lot of music, Bounty commercials, Charles S Dutton, Mortal Kombat, local restaurants and old YouTube poop videos. We hope you enjoy the episode and the holiday.

It's an episode of firsts! The first double feature and the first time our cousin Andrew is with us on the show. Cameron, Chris, Andrew and I all grew up together, so the full family lineup is happening, and Cameron got SUPER drunk for the occasion. Chris redeems himself with more bars for you, Andrew has beef with TikTok dancers, Cameron says one crazy thing after another all episode, and I get r...

Oh yeah, it's time to Die Hard once again for Christmas and for the second week in a row, this is one that Chris has never seen before. People never really talk much about this sequel but i've always liked this one. Find out if Cameron and Chris will enjoy this sequel and also hear us talk about Space Jam 2, Commando, Star Wars, we debate over which Toy Story movie is better, Cameron is super drun...

It's Christmas time on the Home Video Hustle! To start, we had to watch a movie that Cameron requested, and Chris has actually never seen before! It's been a while since I've seen it as well, so let's see if childhood nostalgia will prevail. Cameron REALLY had a lot to say about Tim Curry and the Pigeon Lady in the film, Chris has a Netflix recommendation, Cameron and I tell a story about Chicago...

Cameron is ready to face his fears once again and watch the next Freddy movie! This is considered by many to be the worst of the bunch so maybe this can be the one to cure him of his Freddy phobia. Or it could just bore him to sleep. We also discuss Miniclip.com, Seaman, Morbius, The Proud Family and we take a look back at all the movies we've watched for the Halloween Hustle this year and give ou...

You didn't read that wrong, PJ is back and since we both saw Wakanda Forever, I figured we may as well hit the mics while he came by to chill. You know how these things go though, we talk about the movie, I catch PJ up on what's been going on since he hasn't been around, I give him a ton of songs to add to his playlists and we just chill like we always do. We hope you enjoy the show! All Our Links...

They didn't pick this one last week so I had to bring it back this time. This was one of my favorite episodes to record in a while. They had no idea what was coming in this movie and I even broke out the voice recorder to catch their reactions to the ending and you will not want to miss that! We also talked about being Team Leatherface, PBS shows, Miami Bass, more stories from childhood, camp stor...

This is a first time viewing for Chris, was very curious to see if he will also consider this a horror classic like most do or if he will think it's TRRRASSSHHH. It had been a long time since I saw this original Leatherface joint and it was fun to go back and get this Hustle on. Also in the episode, Chris and I give our quick review of Halloween Kills and we talk about colored VHS tapes, lots of 9...

Month two of Halloween Hustlin' begins here and we inch ever so closely to reviewing porn. Nightmare Sisters is a straight to video film from David DeCoteau and starring Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer. A staple of late night shows like Up All Night on the USA Network, will it hit for the Hustlers in 2022? Let's find out together! Also in the episode we talk about the Spice Girls...
